Answer:

The correct option is "It will increase the equivalent resistance which will decrease the total current".

Explanation:Increasing resistance will always decrease total current as as resistance implies "resisting the current flow"

Answer:In a series circuit, adding more resistors increases total resistance and thus lowers current. But the opposite is true in a parallel circuit because adding more resistors in parallel creates more choices and lowers total resistance. If the same battery is connected to the resistors, current will increase.
